Thankful People Are Happy People

The best way to start every day
is to remember, contemplate, and say:
“I am greatly, by grace, blessed!
And this, at first light, I must confess.”
If honest, this is neither a stretch or strain
(and by it everything I gain)
for to be happy, this is the ONLY way.
“Thankful”: This simple word − this straightforward thought
satisfies in a way that cannot otherwise be bought.
Consider, for a moment, just how profound;
how easy and close at-hand happiness is to be found!
“I am thankful for I am blessed!”
This, at daybreak, FIRST thing I MUST remember and confess!
